Dec. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- A 3-day “Entrepreneurship Awareness Program” was being organized by the “Entrepreneurship Development Cell” of JECRC from 6-8 December, 2011. The Program funded by AICTE was designed to provide insights of entrepreneurship to budding entrepreneurs. The main objective behind the program was to produce job creators instead of producing job seekers from the students who are currently pursuing their engineering.

The first day of the program began with Mr.R.K.Poddar, Director, Mayur Leathers who related the teachings of Bhagwad Gita to Entrepreneurship and Dr.R.S.Prasad, Deputy Director, MSME who shared various schemes of MSME for the young entrepreneurs. On the same hand, Ms.MadhumitaHaldar shared her journey from a creative child of IIT to a boring job and then finally her dream came into presence after developing the first Hindi game of India, Aksharit and how jovial she feels because of her company“Mad Rat Games”. She gave the success mantra to the students that Do what your heart says and not what others expect from you.
The second day of EAP also enlightened the knowledge ofall the budding entrepreneurs. The day started with insights into balance sheets, finance and how to protect your intellectual property. Mohammad Ali Niang shared that how he focussed on the problem that the rice wasted by Mali’s can actually fulfil needs of millions of people. He told that how he was able to pitch this idea to fetch 1,40,000 dollars from investors. Followed by Mr.NaveenTripathi, Founder and Director, Mercury Design and communication whose talk was on the topic “One Life”. He told that this is the only life you have received from the almighty, do best with it.
It was the last day and it was Mr.Anshu Gupta of GOONJ-An NGO who made audience rethink about whatthey are actually doing with their life, their nation. He asked to the audience that why do we need Anna to stand every 3 months to make us understand that we need to fight against corruption. Why we only see the positive side of India? Why don’t we bother about the fact that the girl raped can be from our family too? His gracious words took the audience to a totally different world. He advised everyone for the need of doing something for our motherland, atleast make a small change but make it. The 3-day program came to an end with students interacting with Dr.Ajay Data, CEO, Data Infosys, Mr.AtulKapoor, President, TIE – Rajasthan, Mr.RajeshMundra, CEO, Truworth. Students discussed their business plan with these business tycoons of Rajasthan and seeked their expert advices on it.
After EAP, students of JECRC have started gearing up for another international fest iWeekend which will be one of its kind as told by Mr.Anuj Agrawal, Student Development Officer, JECRC. For more insights on it, one can visit www.jecrciweekend.com.
